What equipment were you mining with in 2009 that required datacenter level cooling?
20 Core i7-870
Cyber PC Liquid Cooler Towers
10+? WNR2000 Wireless routers
SATA III Cables
Multiple over 75 (older) laptops to throw off some type of competitive tracking being done
Multiple Ram Cards ( i believe some where added to the older laptops to increase power)
Multiple storage mediums ( too many to list)
Obviously over 30 Computer screens (Multibranded)
Multiple over 40 servers
(Found most of this off old emails)
Thats just off the top of my head and I am nowhere near a techie.
Dude had some of this stuff in his apartment at first. Needed like 10k to buy more infrastructure which is where I came in. Once he transitioned to another spot, I attempted to reinvest but he declined. I still keep in touch with him today, he's still killing it. But through hanging out with him for a good amount of time I learned alot about all this stuff works and how to effectively make money in this still very new industry. It's impossible to make a huge amount of money by yourself, IMO.
Hope this answers your question.
